We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jeremy Hodges. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jeremy below.

Jeremy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?

Embodying the notion of “Be The Oil Painting” defines my life’s mission: to create a legacy that transcends time, leaving behind a positive mark that someone would proudly immortalize in an oil painting. Much like the iconic figures in history whose portraits narrate timeless stories, I aspire to leave a legacy of significance.

At the core of my ambition lies a commitment to generational wealth. I aim to pave a path that ensures my children and future generations in my family, even those I may never meet, have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive. This legacy of prosperity extends beyond my immediate circle; I aspire to impact the world positively.

My passion resonates with advocating for the underserved and the unheard. I strive to be their voice, advocating for change, equity, and inclusivity. I want to create lasting goodness and opportunities where needed most, leaving a tangible, positive imprint on lives that often go unnoticed.

Whether through initiatives promoting education and empowerment or actively participating in endeavors that uplift communities, I am committed to being a catalyst for change.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

As an award-winning creative director with a passion for immersive experiences, I’ve had the privilege of directing numerous large-scale installations and live music performances. My journey led me to establish the Project Art Collective, a creative studio dedicated to fostering creativity and storytelling, and the Voice of Young Dreamers (V.O.Y.D.), an online multicultural magazine amplifying the voices of our youth.

One of our proudest accomplishments was steering the creative direction and execution of the highly acclaimed museum, ‘Tupac Shakur: Wake Me When I’m Free.’ Despite lacking formal training, my team and I have collaborated with industry giants, spearheading projects for globally recognized brands like Adidas, Bud-Light, Redbull, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and more.

Beyond brand collaborations, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with some of our most influential creators, including Jay-Z, Bill Gates, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Kendrick Lamar, and Lady Gaga. These collaborations have shaped my creative vision and fueled my aspiration to make a positive impact.

Recently, I embarked on a new venture called LOVEMORE, driven by a simple yet profound mission—to counter the pervasive negativity in our world. Through LOVEMORE, I aim to create an ever-evolving concept that celebrates the inherent beauty of humanity encapsulated in a single, powerful word: LOVE.

My journey as a creative entrepreneur has been defined by my dedication to harnessing art and collaboration’s transformative power. Through each project and initiative, I strive to bring people together, spark meaningful conversations, and inspire positive change. By amplifying love and positivity, we can create a world where everyone feels valued, respected, and celebrated.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

My reputation in the market has been meticulously crafted through sheer dedication—blood, sweat, and tears, figuratively speaking! But it’s rooted in a simple principle: delivering on promises with unwavering quality. Building trust is at the core of what I do. When clients and peers know they can rely on you to execute and produce top-tier results, it sets the foundation for lasting relationships.

My approach is strategic, with a keen understanding that creativity must align with measurable outcomes. It’s not just about being creatively impressive; it’s about ensuring a return on investment (ROI). A brilliant idea needs to translate into tangible results. By marrying creativity with strategy, I aim to impress and prove the value of creative endeavors by showcasing measurable returns. Demonstrating the impact and success of a creative venture brings satisfaction to everyone involved, from clients to collaborators.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

My approach to client relationships goes beyond the conventional norms. I believe in nurturing brand loyalty by establishing genuine human connections. From the outset of every project, I prioritize setting a different tone—I reject the typical client-agency dynamic. Instead, I advocate for an authentic partnership built on honesty, transparency, and mutual care.

I’m committed to fostering an environment where both parties come together not just to collaborate but to listen and understand—even when it involves conversations that might be challenging. Open dialogue is critical. Creating a space where clients and my team feel heard and can voice concerns or ideas freely builds unparalleled trust.

This approach isn’t just about delivering a project but forging enduring relationships founded on respect and understanding. By treating each other as equals, we build a bond beyond business, creating an environment where success is a shared journey.
